🐾💚Wellness Wednesday💚🐾
Our pets are very good at hiding signs that they are in pain or need help. When our house pets live in the wild, it was very dangerous to show any signs of weakness so they tend to hide any illness or injury.
It's our job, as pet parents, to know our pets and make sure they are pain free. Many conditions can cause pain such as: Dental disease, arthritis, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and some nerve conditions. Some common signs of pain are limping or hopping, arching their back or lowering their head or tail, grumpiness, licking a particular spot obsessively, panting, whining, not eating normally, and decreased activity or energy.
If you see any of these signs or symptoms give us a call for a visit. Our doctors perform nose to tail examinations to thoroughly look for anything out of the ordinary with your pet. We also offer Wellness bloodwork at all annual appointments to screen for some conditions before signs or symptoms develop. Depending on the cause we have many treatments available such as: Medicines, laser therapy, surgical procedures, and natural supplements.
If you have any questions or concerns, never hesitate to give us a call! We are here to help!
